Apologies if this seems inferior, I apologise.
Peri-menopausal 48 year old who began significant bleeding in Feb 24 after 18 months on HRT (combined). 3 x hysteroscopy in March, July then Devember under GA (other's not). Consultant was waiting when I woke up to apologies that she hadn't seen anything in July but no more explanation than that. On 31st December I was asked to see another Consultant where I was told that the Endometrial Polyp removed was showing signs of cancer & had been sent for a 2nd opinion. In the meantime I needed urgent MRI & CT scans - all of which were clear. The sample was then sent to Birmingham for a erd opinion but Oxford had advised full hysterectomy as it was more likely a rare sarcoma. My operation is this Thursday but I am confused & want answers. I did all my Cancer nurse last week to go through this & she said that sometimes they just can't be 100% sure either way & for that reason the risks is too high not to do anything.
Has anyone been through this? Any advice is really welcome.
Thank you.
